It is with the most 'sincere pleasure that we find ourselves enabled to communicate to our R aders, 3n account of the suceesst u_ cuiumencetnetit of the operations of our Expedition. Yesterday afternoon the Admiralty were apprizAti, by a Telegraphic Mes eAge from Deal, that Fluslijug was closely invested, titld that the rest of the Island of Walcheren, was in our possession. In a very short time after the re ceipt of this Telegraphic Message, Lieut. DUNCAN iftii . ed at the Admiralty with Dispatches from the commander in C;,ief, dated Mi-ddieburgh, the 2d a id 3d nest. Aathig, that ihe whole of the Island of Vialcher, %t 411 the, exception of Flushing, had 'been talt . ,.n possession of by our troops, after sonic resistance, in which a number of prisoners were liken from the enemy ; and that the island of South ,d been 'taken possession of by the divi sion of our :troops,-under the command of Sir Joni. BoPg. The substande of this inelligence was this In - Owing corom.!42atel to-the Lord Mayor in the following letter fro L'JCLICASTLEREAGH—. h o , coi; l / 41 at o w Half past Eight &Clock, Moncby Morning, 7th Aitgust, ' Downing -street, August 6, 1809. " MY LORD, I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that Dtspatches have hien received from the Earl, of Artitot, dated the 2d and 3d instant, from Mid dleburg, by which it appears, that the Island of Wal cheren has been occupied by his Majesty's troops, and the fortress of Flushing invested, after some re istance, is which a considerable number of prisoners *ere taken from the Enemy. I,land of South Beveland has also been take possession of by the Division under the orders of Lteutenant,General Sir J. HOPE. " I . have the honour to be '‘ Your Lordship's,rnost obedient " And faithful Servant, " CASTLEREAGH. '4' The Ri:tht Hon. the Lord Mayor." Lieut. DUNCAN was aho the bearer of Dispatches from Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, dated off the Veer Gat, the 4th and 5 . h inst. He came over in the Ras Cutter, and left the lel et at one o'clock, P. M. on Saturday lost. it appea , s from the a , paiches of the Rear-Admiral, that on the morning of the 29th ult. Sir RICHARD KEATS, on the arrival of the Armament, shifted his Flag into the Sal:elle Frigate, and proceeded into the Roompot Channel, with the Divison under the command of Sir JOHN HOPE, and anchored the whole in safety opposite Zerickee, be tween the Islands of Schowen and North Beveland. As it was found that there was sufficient space in the Roompot Channel to contain all the Ship, the Squadron, led by the Venerable, came safe to etcher off the Veer GAI on the 30th. On the same:ilay the Troops, were landed in Walcheren, in exOlent order, and without .opposition, the Enemy inving been previously completely driven from the Detlazak battery by the Gun-boats and Bombs. The next morning Camveer was summoned, but held out, and the fire of the gun-boats were direded against it with great effeEt, but three of them were sunk. At night some rockets were thrown into the nearest battery, upon which the Commanding Of ficer sent out an Officer of the town to surrender the place. On the Ist inst. Sir JOHN HOPE landed at We meldinge, on the North side of South Beveland, and took possession of that Island. The enemy's ships retrcAted up the Scheldt beyond LiUo, and some of ,them as far as Antwerp. On the 4th instant, the fort of Rammakens sur rendered to his Majesty's forces under the command of Major-General F4AZEI.. The possession of this fort is considered as being of the utmost importance, as• it will effealually prevent any succours being thrown into Flushing, either from Cadsand, or the Ghent Channel. It also appears, that on the approach of the Com bined Force under Sir R. KEATS and Sir R. STttA- CHAN, the important post of Barhz was evacuated by the enemy. Middleburg surrendered without firing a shot, but the enemy' made a sortie from Flushing, when a smart a6tion took place, in which we had about 300 men killed and wounded; but the enemy suffered se verely. The number of prisoners taken amounted to near 2,000 men. When the Idas came away . , Flushing was closely invested. Such is the Substance of the intelligence received by Government : our Readers may place the most implicit reliance upon the accuracy of our statement. We congrattilate the Public on this auspicious com mencement of our operations, and we trust we shal l soon have to , communicate to our Readers, intelli gence equally important and satisfaaory. We this morning received German Papers to the 29th ult. from which we have made some' ex traets. They state, but not in an official or very positive manner, that the Preliminaries of Peace have been signed between France and Austria. An. article from Nuremburgb states, that the KING of PRUSSIA has sequestrated all the dornaius and estate& of the Duke of BRUNSWICK OELS. The Gazette of Saturday contains the official cc- Count of the gallant n in the Baltic, which we mentioned on Wednesday last. It will be found in the Last Page. • The intelligence brought by the Arethusa , which arrived from Corunna last Saturday, after a passage /0 four days, is of the most satisfaetoty nature. The enemy were retreating in all direaions before the Marquis de RorIANA, who, according ,to the last accounts, was at Astorga, at the head of 24,000 men, well armed and equipped. Sou LT had effetsl - his escape with the wreck of his army, which did ,not exceed 5000 men, principally cavalry, and was supposed to be in the neighbourhood of Zamoia.--• His design 'was probably to retreat to Madrid. An interview has taken place between Sir Awrituk WELLESLEY, and General CuisTA, for the purpose of concerting a plan of operations. Yesterday his MAJESTY, the Duke Of CAMBRIDGE Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and MARY, accom panied by Lady ISABELLA. THYNNE, General CART-- wul GHT, and Colonel DESBRow, rode to St: Georg,e's Chapel, and heard a Sermon preached by the Hon. and Rev. Dean LEGGE, and afterwards returned to the PdlaCe• This day the Princess AMELIA completes her 26th year, and the same will be celebrated as usual. Letters were yesterday received from Jamaica, brought by the Eclipse schooner, letter of marque, in 28 days. At the departure of this vessel, no tidinE. , ,s had been received of the capture of St... Domingo ; but the last accounts left our Expedi tion before that city. Oh the land-side, there were nearly ten thousand Spaniards -to co-operate with the British, provided it should be necessary to at tack by storm. The prevalent opinion, however, was, that the place would surrender without any re sistance ; the French having declared their inten tion to do so, in case the British force that came against them was respeaable in point of numbers ; but they would not submit to any Spanish force, however large. A vessel arrived in the River on Saturday has brought the following communication .4c AMSTARDAM, JULY 22, 'lBo9.—The French ' Ambassador made it known yesterday by an official communication, that no American Citizen would be admitted into France after the first day of August next, unless furnished with original passports taken by them in Me United States : 1-la,sports from Ame rican Agents in Europe (Ministers or Consuls) would not avail, and .the original passports from the United States were to be revised by the Ameri ' can Agents abroad, and afterwards legalised by the Fa ench Authorities, in the places through which they might pass." • GERMAN PAPERS. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. -BANKS or Ta s ELBE, JULY 28;—For almost a whole week many persons of good information con tinued to doubt the authenticity of the miserable Armistice'contludedby the weak Emperor FRANCIS, particularly as some of the public Papers, even the Berlin Gazette,-scarcely mentioned its`conelusion on the 13th July, and not on the 12th, as given by or ders of the French Minister in the Hamburgh Cor respondenten of the 21 st inst. These doubts have now, however, vanished, as there are certain advices of the Preliminaries of Peace having been also agreed upon. The Armistice in the territorial dominions is said to contain the chief conditions of this unexpeEtect Peace. The weakness of the Emperor FRANCIS has ac celerated this event, and the heroic Archduke CHARLES was at first wholly against it, but all his representations were fruitless. The threats - of Russia, the 'advance of her troops, and those of Poland to the confines of Moravia, are likewise stated to have precipitated that eventful mea sure. In a note addressed by the Emperor FRANCIS himself to the Governor of Munn, inserted in the Berlin Gazette, this weak Monarch owns that the centre and right wing of the Archduke CHARLES'S army had been conquered, but preserved a strong position at the foot of the Bisam.mountains, in Mo ravia. In the battle of the 7th, the Archduke CHARLES is said to have taken ten pieces of cannon, twelve eagles, and many ,prisoners from the enemy. FRANcIs thus concludes-- " OUr loss is much less considerable than in the battle of Aspern, and that of the French as much greater than at Aspern." At the same time the Austrians were again acl- 7: vancitig into Saxony, and had driven the-Duke of ABRANTEIS, with great loss, from Bayreuth. The Tyrolians and Vorulbergers both made an attack upon the enemy, and Count GIULAY had re-occu pied Gratz; and, in an a(;tion,on the oth, the Aus trians made six hundred prisoners : yet all these ad vantages have pros ed of no avail, and he brave T) ro lians and VOralbergrs are abandoned to their fate. The consequences of the Armistice of Znaim, ought to make the infatuated Emperor of Russia tremble for the safety of his dominions, since NAPO LEON has aheady made himself his neighbour, by putting up ins eagles in the newly conquered Aus ian king.lom of Gallicia, in spite of the co-opera tion and occupation of-teat kingdom by the Russian army. This ought to open the eyes ut tt►e deluded, insulted ALEXANDER. The Dutch troops lately co-operating with the Saxons and Westplialians, are now on their march to lirctnen, and the coasts of the North Sea. The king t,t Westphalia, with his army, is also expeL•ted in t-Lnover, and Hanu is also to have a garrison of sotne thousands of Dutch and Westphalian troops, and the Duke of Abrantes is expeeted to fix his head quaff tors I here. The great number of American ships lately arrived at Tonnirigen, have occasioned a considerable tall in all colonial produce in the liarriburgh Market, but they have risen since the Armistice. The poor Ha noverians still hope for the deliverance soon, as 'their despair is excessive ..Ance they have been in formed that a conscription fOr the service of France and the King of Westphalia, will take place in Hano. ver, in 8 IQ., The inhabitants all execrate the French yoke, and adtife‘ their lawful Sovereign, the King of 'Great Britain. As soon as' a small force' landed at ,Cuxhaveri; serious disturbances took place ' in Han over and at' Brcillerl. In the former place, the peo ple stopped the waggons with Money, which the French wanted . fq lake:away:. LANDSBERG;* jUEYi I the ;nth, 4000 Tyrolean Insurgeats , attacked the Bavarian cordon , bear Maninau, 0,101, 410, strong, and .repulsed them. Yesterday 'Mori:ll'l4 they occupied 'Maninau. Major ZEIMER iMlllol4el}i put in revisition 50 head of cattle, 1000 ells.of lin'etr; 30 bales of cloth, 500 pair of shoes, 25 s44dle-Iliorso, and ($OOO. florins in maney. Agreat quanity or corn was seized in the , - the barns, and Mainou, as well as the neighbouring viilages plundered. In the evening, at 7 o'clock, Count ARES came with a corps of troops from Beneclia Bayern, and by a violent lire of grape shot, put the insurgents to flight, with the loss of several hundreds killed and wounded, go prisoners, and two pieces of cannon, and pursued them as far as the pass of Scharmtz.— :They saved little of the requisitions, and the Bava- rian troops who engaged them were mostly re- cruiti. • VIENNA, JULY 1 s.—Yesterday afternoon Prince jou N of Lichtenstein, who has been very grackously received in his audience by NAPOLEON, arrived here, to negociate the peace with the French Min ister of State, Count CILAMPAGNY. The Emperor FRANCIS, as is generally asserted hoe, is much in favour of peace, and cliorged the Archduke, in writing, to open negociat!o-, for it, even with considerable sacrifices, in order to put ar ,end to the dreadful etfusiOn of blood. Previous to the signing of the Armistice, some chief points had been.agreed upon, which are to form the bads of the peace about to be made. An immediate peace was expeCted ; nay, bets were laid that the Emperor NAPOLEON will be at Paris by his birth-day, the 15th August. The rumour of his setting out from Schoenbrunn to Paris, so soon as to-day, appears to be premature. The inhabitants of the city, no the killed are buried, go daily in great numbers to view the fields of battle near Esslingen, Wagram, Aspern, and Enzersdof; they are surprised at the enormous entrenchment which the Archduke CHARLES had ordered to be thrown up in 40 dap round, his camp—but it causes still more surprises that it should have been possible to force them, BUt the best soldiers, who have made many cain paigns, declare, that NAPOLEON never evinced inure 'skill and genius than on the two deci,ive days, the sth and 6th July. It was by the most ingenioui manteuvres that on the sth, in the forenoon, he forced, without considerable loss, a part of the Austrian army to, quit its strong position, or be• turned. Even the one manoeuvre which Genera HILLER made, on the forenoon of the 6th, to turn the left wing of the French army, with 40,000 Men, was foreseen by NAPOLEON, who immediate ly gave the necessary orders to render it fruitless.— In other respeets, the French do the Austrians the justice of declaring they fought gallantly, their Ge. nerals and soldiers having shunned no danger ; but they were no match for NAPOLEON in military science, and the experience of his Generals and warriors.-- (Correspondent.) MUNICH, JULY Ig.—Though the Bavarians ap prised the Austrians, in the Valley of the Inn, of theiArmistice, still, reinforced by great numbers of insurgents, they attacked, on the 17th, Brigadier Count AaEs, with great violence, near Roche' and Murnace, but were repulsed with great loss, after an obstinate contest. JULY 20.—The King has made the . French Minis ter OTTO, at his Cour , Grand Cross, one of tbp Order of Civil Merit called " the Crown" and his Secretary, BOYNE, a Knight of the Lime order..‘ (Correspondent). • Admiral APODACA has received official intelligence of the junction of the British and Spanish atiniei. The dispatches communicating this pleasing infor mation were bt.iigin by an officer nl CußsTA's army. Hopes were cherished that the ccinbined arinf would be able to bring the French to an engage• meat before the latter could reach Madrid.

LEIGH, and mini other Officers, with a strong Medical Staff, go our in the former. BUONAPARTE, by a recent regulation, has attach' ed two guns to each battalion of infantry, to be worked by the soldiers themselves. The artillery of his !guards has been augmented to 78 pieces of cannon. Prince PONIATOWSKL, who commands the P.?lish troops, is nephew to the King at POLAND. His mother was the Bohemian Countess KINSKY, and died about two years ago, and his tathir, at the time of his death, was a Field Marshal in the Aus trian service. The Non -Intercourse Bill pissed the American Senate on the 19th June, with ooe dissentient voice only. PHENCH PRISON , 3RS.—Last Friday evening one • of the prisoners on parole at Launceston, made his escape, and has not since been heard of. About three weeks ago, three of the prisoners in the new prison on Dartmoor* hid themselves beneath the filth and otfals of a ding cart, and natuallY escaped in this manner from the prison ; but soon alter, the boy who drove the tart, perceiving something move, gave the alarm, when the Frdnchmen were secured by some soldiers who chanced to be near, and re-conveyed to prison. About the same time, a general escape was projeaed frorn this great na tional prisbn, by perforating the solid wall; the massive appearance ut the sirudure would seeill to bid defiance to such an attempt. A timely di*. covert/ marred the projeCt. On Wednesday e‘ening, after the mail-coach had left Hadthngion for the South, as the horses w ere go ing rapidly down a hill, a - child was running across the road, but'not Last enongh to get our ut the wol of the coach, and the driver's attempt to slop the horses was in vain. Tiie mother, with another font in her arms, seeing the nanger of her c hild, made a desperate etrott to rescue it horn the dread ful death w hich threatened it. Just as she luta seized the child her foot slipped, and al three were buried . among I hi:: horses feet. The shock g iven A to tho:,e on the coach was dreadtul—they expected to see the mother and her tw o children lialipled 112 death; but by „a sudden jerk of the horses, whose feet did not touch any of them, the coach turned a little round, and they were all taken from oetwecil the wheels unhurt. Mrs. SIDDONS,. who was on a viii at Brighton , has been engaged tv perform a few nights at ti :'t place.
